Pro Trading Account

A pro trading account is designed for traders who want access to lower-cost, faster trading conditions. Unlike beginner or standard accounts, it provides lower spreads, faster execution, and greater transparency, features that appeal to traders who already have solid experience in the market.

What Is a Pro Account?

A pro trading account (or forex pro account) offers advanced trading conditions for experienced traders who need precise execution and tight pricing.

At IFC Markets, Pro accounts are available on MetaTrader5, including:

Pro Standard (minimum deposit $1,000)
Pro Micro (minimum deposit $10)

Both use market execution, meaning trades are filled at real market prices without requotes, it’s a key feature for traders who rely on speed and accuracy.

They also provide floating spreads starting from 0.1 pips, which is significantly tighter than standard or classic accounts. This allows professionals to reduce trading costs on high volume trades.
